Plans have been announced by the Morgans Hotel Group Co. of New York to construct a $125 million hotel in Center City. This 300-room hotel at 17th and Chancellor street will replace a parking garage, and relocate Little Pete’s diner, a floral shop, and nail salon. Two stories of retail stores will also be added in the construction.
Â
Perfect for events, the hotel will include a penthouse restaurant, along with rooms for special events and meeting facilities. The Hudson in Philadelphia is expected to begin construction next year and reach completion by 2016.
Â
DAS Architects Inc. of Philadelphia designed the structure, and Clemens Construction Co. will oversee the development. Morgans Hudson Brand, which will operate the hotel, also oversees a Hudson hotel in New York and will soon expand into Europe with a property in London.
